Waterbridge: Pontefract Cakes
Indulge in a piece of British confectionery history with Waterbridge Pontefract Cakes. These soft, disc-shaped liquorice medallions are named after the Yorkshire town of Pontefract, where they have been produced for centuries, offering a nostalgic and authentic taste of the UK.
 
Flavor & Texture Profile

The Flavor: A deeply aromatic and mellow liquorice profile that leans toward the sweeter side, balanced with traditional earthy undertones.
The Stamp: Each medallion is traditionally embossed with a seal—originally representing Pontefract Castle—giving it a rustic and artisanal look.
